Strong Force
The Story of Physicist Shirley Ann Jackson
by Diane O'Connell
Shirley Ann Jackson sees the unseen. She's an expert in the invisible particles that make up everything in the universe, including you. Shirley is a theoretical physicist, a scientist who studies the subatomic world using only paper, pencils, computers and the most important tool of all: her imagination. Shirley's passion for science blossomed during her childhood, with bumblebee experiments and go-cart races. But it's her talent for math and her drive to succeed that have taken her career in amazing directions. Shirley uses her knowledge of electrons, neutrinos, and other particles of matter to better the lives of others-from solving important technology problems to teaching college physics to making nuclear power plants safer. A natural-born leader, Shirley has always seized opportunities and broken down racial barriers, not only for herself but for others. Strong Force is the compelling story of an African American scientist and her science. To tell this true story of courage, author Diane O'Connell drew on firsthand accounts from Shirley and her friends, family, and colleagues. How did a young bee collector grow up to be a world-renowned physicist? The life story of Shirley Ann Jackson will intrigue and inspire readers of all ages.

Dying to Dance
A Maddie Fitzpatrick Dance Mystery
by Kate O'Connell
Noted Argentine Tango choreographer Maddie Fitzpatrick returns to her hometown of Pembroke to teach at a local dance school after a televised dance fiasco upsets her career. No sooner there, but Maddie finds herself thrown into another unsettling situation when one of the school’s students dies suddenly and horrifically during a dance class––apparently from an allergic reaction. When Maddie’s first love––now a local detective––arrives on the scene to investigate, she believes that her new life can’t possibly get anymore complicated. Of course, she’s wrong, because she soon begins to realize that the victim’s demise is anything but an accident. She decides to investigate the circumstances of the woman’s life––and death––on her own, to clear the dance school and its charming director Peter of any adverse publicity. To do this, she has to figure out how eager real estate agents, eccentric dance teachers, unstable nurses, and several popular dance students fit into the mystery. Will more people succumb before Maddie puts all the clues together and discovers why they are DYING TO DANCE?

Ethical Considerations for Research on Housing-Related Health Hazards Involving Children
by Bernard Lo and Mary Ellen O'Connell, Editors, Committee on Ethical Issues in Housing-Related Health Hazard Research Involving Children, Youth, and Families
Ethical Considerations for Research on Housing-Related Health Hazards Involving Children explores the ethical issues posed when conducting research designed to identify, understand, or ameliorate housing-related health hazards among children. Such research involves children as subjects and is conducted in the home and in communities. It is often conducted with children in low-income families given the disproportionate prevalence of housing-related conditions such as lead poisoning, asthma, and fatal injuries among these children. This book emphasizes five key elements to address the particular ethical concerns raised by these characteristics: involving the affected community in the research and responding to their concerns; ensuring that parents understand the essential elements of the research; adopting uniform federal guidelines for such research by all sponsors (Subpart D of 45 CFR 46); providing guidance on key terms in the regulations; and viewing research oversight as a system with important roles for researchers, IRBs and their research institutions, sponsors and regulators of research, and the community.
